The New York Central modified some of their RS-3s and moved one of the air reservoirs to the roof to allow for more water capacity for the steam generator:

This is an old under construction model of my beloved Athearn Trainmaster.
The roof on these models is very boring, so I spiced it up a bit. I added a taller fan housing from Details West. There are four sand hatches added to the roof in a completely nonsensical way just to dress it up a bit. I added a big horn and a big bell just for fun. The EMD all weather window is a bit out of place on this model, and it the late knuckle tray above the pilot.
All in good fun.

The TH&B was my hometown railroad, and about 20 years ago, I built a couple of these Stewart (now Bowser) U-channel hoppers, modifying them into cars closer to the appearance of the real ones, following a well-done article in RMC...
The real ones were built in 1914, and lasted into the mid-'60s, the final ones in company service.
Recently, I looked them over again, and realised that I could have done better. To that end, I've started re-doing the two original cars, and adding another 10. They'll represent the cars in the period between the mid-'30s and mid-'40s, when they were undergoing updates and improvements.
